I-Journal

February 16 2012, Today I am starting with my I-search, I will start brainstorming.

Brainstorm list:

1. dogs
2. computer programming
3. colleges
4. viruses (started out as my I-search)

5. Video games (I-search at this moment)

• I have established that I am going to do my I-seach on video games
• I am interested in helping people learn how they are made, by finding out what it takes to make them.
• I hope to find out they way people design video games . Also how many people it takes to make one.
• What are some viruses?

Why do I want to do this about video games?
I want to know this about video games because some day I am hoping to be a part in making a video game.

What is my connection to all of this?
since I was 5 I have been thinking about everything there is in making a video game, I have noted that there are more steps in making a video game then just going BAM and thinking it is done.

Even though that I have not written in this for awhile I have been thinking and researching everyday. Yesterday I established my first "Note Catcher." There were two templates, I decided to use the second one, although when I first started using it a blast of yellow came on to the page; the whole paper was highlighted yellow and it almost gave me a headache. Because of my Note Catcher I learned about some awesome websites. I learned about some computer code is different then others. I also learned that to design a video game you need a lot of people. Finally, I learned yesterday that, even though there is a team of about 20-100 people in making a video game, there is only one maker

Today I decided to make my idea less broad. I am now focusing on only computer coding, so do not expect anymore about anything but the coding part.

I am on my plan of my I-search. I am really focusing on getting a good starting point, but nothing seems good enough. I have tried one thing so far, yet i deleted it though. I am basing my new starting statement off of the same format as this:

Today I am almost done editing my entire roughdraft for my I-search, but I found something that is really handy, when you press CNTRL F and search a word, such as I it will come up with how many times you use it. This is good because we are talking in 3rd person.

The proccess of writing my I search roughdraft is kind of hard. We have to colaborate, change many things, and write exemplary conclusions.

Today I am polishing up my I-search slideshow. I am using www.sliderocket.com to make the slideshow, but sometime I may possibly be able to embed my slideshow.
